'How sharper than a serpent's thanks it is To have a toothless child?" You're remarkably unjust, Fred, as you will acknowledge in your cooler moments. I am hurt by your ingratitude I am," and the sympathizing engineer buried his face in the folds of a Bandana handkerchief. I knew, by old experience, that it was of no use to get into a rage with Cutts.
Or p'r'aps somebody was trying to 'ave a game with you, Mr. Cutts, and deceived me instead." The keepers on'y stared at 'im. "You ought to be more careful," ses Bob. "Very likely while you was taking all that trouble over me, and Keeper Lewis was catching 'is death o' cold, the poachers was up at the plantation taking all they wanted.
There was a fire in the town, and the house of Mr. Cutts, the saddler, was burnt down. A week afterwards some very unpleasant rumours were abroad, and the Tacchis, with Mrs. and Mr. Cattle, and the two Misses Cattle, sat talking over them in Mr. Tacchi's parlour after supper.
He would have fain carried off also both the horses; but the ostler, surly at being knocked up at so early an hour, might not have surrendered the one ridden by Jasper, without Jasper's own order to do so.

Cutts then hurried on to suggest that it was just the hour when some of the workmen employed on the premises might be found in the Fawley public- house; that he should ride on, dismount there, and take his chance of picking up details of useful information as to localities and household.
The Duke nodded as he recognized the lad, and, pencilling a few words of reply, said, "To Lord Cutts; then back to your post." And as Blackett rode off like the wind in a bee-line for Cutts's division, Marlborough murmured, "A fearless fox-hunter, I'll be bound."
